Do we really need AI for that? Seems par for the course.

I just had a spindle rebuilt yesterday and the cost was about $1,000 higher than it should have been. I asked why and he said his cost for ABEC7 bearings is up 50% since the start of the year.

My cost for steel is up 18%.

My cost for abrasives, that I buy directly from the manufacturer, is up 24% since this time last year and that does not include this latest tariff. I'm almost scared to ask what it is now because the base is imported from Europe.

The Kyocera SGS carbide end mill we use the most is up a whopping 47% compared to where it was a couple years ago.

My labor hourly is way up

But hey, my cost for electricity is pretty flat. So that's nice.

From where I'm sitting, it looks to me like inflation is coming back again.

Which is good. Because it decreases the value of my debt and increases the value of my assets. So it's fine. Everything is fine.

With the right perspective it all looks good. When there was gun shortages I liked it because lots of people were buying but frustrating because it drove the price up on the used market.

Everything's fine...

Sounds like a great time to make a lot of integral daggers to fight rising costs.

From where I'm sitting, it looks to me like inflation [is coming back again.]> HAS BEEN RUNNING HOT SINCE 1920.

Fixed it for you at the end there?

time to start specializing in miniature knives?

War hammer. Just a chunk of D3V on wooden stick.

War hammer. Just a chunk of D3V on wooden stick.

Why wooden stick? Mill the whole thing from 1” thick blanks. Then the strip of space resulting from the gap between the handles, created by the inverted heads cut from the blanks, can be milled into 2 daggers

I was just thinking to myself that there are fantastic, outstanding, incredible opportunities available to anyone with vision in this dynamic economy!

Just think; with the loosening of the unfair restrictions imposed by child labour laws, you can unleash the power of their tiny little hands, 80 hour work weeks and low, low wages in order to specialize in the production of miniature knives! CPK could bolster its reputation as an industry leader bigly, and usher in an era of the smol knife!!! The K18? How about the K1/8?
